In November 2014 my usual trip buddy and myself were going to California. We decided that since it was a long flight we would stay in a hotel at the airport the night before so Sunday the 16th got everything sorted at home and then left for Dublin. I love Dublin at Christmas time and there was a new little Christmas Market so I wanted to check that out on the
way to the airport. There were little huts all lined up along the road and they
had everything from jewellery, decorations, clothes, handmade items, toys and
food.
After that I had to stop off at the Disney store for a browse. They had Olaf, Anna and
Elsa in their window for Christmas.
They had also added a third level in there of boys stuff and have figures from
Star Wars and the Marvel characters down there.
On Henry street they were turning on the Christmas lights so it was a tiny bit packed there but the decorations were cute:
After that I the bus out to the airport. I
got off the bus at terminal 2 and could walk to the hotel from the bus. We were staying in the Maldron at the airport:
We had booked the hotel online or so we thought, they asked for a credit card
number when you book it so one would presume that meant they were charging you
for it on their website. So I had the print out of our booking and went up to
check in with what was possibly the most unfriendly receptionist ever! She
wouldn't let me check in. Said that she needed a credit card to pay for the
room. I pointed out we had paid online and she was like no that was only to
secure the room they don't charge you on the website. It does not say this when
you're booking it at all! My trip buddy wasn't there yet and they had the credit card we booked with so I had to wait until they arrived to get into the room:
I had an early night excited to head off to California the next day.
